Manic Monday, it's my fun day?

Who didn't like that Bangles song? My Monday began mundanely. Today is our off day from training. With the pre-tri we did on Saturday and the long run yesterday, our bodies need a day to heal.

So up I get, read the news that my all time favorite comedian, George Carlin, died and went on to email a cousin who shared my love for him. Who could ever forget Hal Sleet the hippy dippy weather man, with all the hippy dippy weather, man? Or observations like, how come people who drive slower then you are idiots but that drive faster then you are maniacs??

After that I went about waking up three of the girls, they had tri camp today. Am I seeing a theme for this family?? Even my youngest loves them, I guess it's like anything in this world, if you can't beat it, join it right? Our world is so filled with all things triathlon (and now marathon) that our girls, save the 16 year old, hop on board willingly.

Of course our day couldn't be completely devoid of things regarding our tri training. We brought my bike to Three Sports for a tune up before our triathlon this weekend, it shifts the big rings far to clunky and the little rings aren't smoothly transitioning while I try to use my gears getting up hills, not good when you're expecting help getting up those hills and not getting it! I also got a pair of Richmond Tri Club tri shorts for the NYC triathlon. I'll be rocking the shorts this July. I understand there are twenty or so of us doing this triathlon from the Richmond Tri Club. I am pretty stoked about that! I wish they had the top in my size, but they only had extra large.

So now my day is filled with work, laundry and kids begging to go to the pool. I have to admit, I am getting a littel antsy not doing anything physical. I can't wait to see what training tomorrow brings...

Rest in peace George Carlin!
